"Okay so does anyone know what we should be doing with all of these?" Ark asked, as everyone with the plates. "Like is there some song or dance we need to perform to summon Arceus?"

"Don't be ridiculous, of course there isn't a song." Coordinator Ash said. "There isn't a song is there?"

"Not that I know of, normally Arceus finds me or one of us I guess." Trap Ash said. "I've never actually tried summoning his presence."

"Not even once?" Pokemon Master Ash said.

"I mean there was one time I called him out, but that was a different scenario, and I knew he was paying attention to the fight." Trap Ash said. "Right now I don't even know if he's here."

"Well last time, he set them in a certain order while we were dealing with MissigNo and the others." Pokemon Master Ash said.

"I already said we had our reasons for what we did." Tobias commented, having joined the group for this.

"Do you remember the order they went in?" Seer Ash asked.

"I think so, we just need to be careful, I don't want to cause any other problems doing this." Pokemon Master Ash said, lining the plates up in a circle one by one.

"So this will bring you all home?" Benji asked, checking the progress.

"That's the hope, and if we have any luck we could even bring Ingo and you home." Coordinator Ash said.

"Like I said, I've had a long life here, and I can't exactly move back in with my parents looking like this." Benji said.

"Could this even restore my memories?" Ingo asked.

"Knowing the extent of Arceus and his children's powers, they could restore both of you to exactly as you were before you arrived here." Trap Ash said, keeping on guard.

"Why are you so defensive, isn't this the home stretch?" Ark asked.

"Think about it, all these plates have spoken a lot of all three dragons, and we've only faced two of them." Trap Ash said. "Speaking of, what's the Icicle Plate say?"

"Hold on, let me get to it." Pokemon Master Ash said, grabbing the Icicle Plate. "Two beings of time and space set free from the original one."

"Again referencing Dialga and Palkia." Trap Ash said. "Seems that these don't have any information that a bit of research doesn't normally go over."

"Umm, guys." Seer Ash said, looking at the plates.

"What's going on, what did you do?" Coordinator Ash asked, looking to see a red glow coming from all the plates.

"Is that Arceus?" Benji asked.

"No, it's a lot worse! Pikachu use Electro Web!" Trap Ash called out.

A web of electricity shot out from Trap Ash's Pikachu's tail, covering the center as a serpentine like dragon trying to break through.

"Guys, that won't hold!" Trap Ash shouted as the dragon began breaking through the electricity.

"Right, come on out Dhelmise use Shadow Ball!" Ark called out.

"Dewgong use Ice Beam!" Seer Ash called out.

"Milotic use Ice Beam!" Coordinator Ash exclaimed.

The three attacks launched at Giratina as it rocketed through the webbing and into the air, destroying the temple that had been at the peak.

"Dragapult use Dragon Darts!" Trap Ash called out.

"Gallade use Night Slash!" Benji commanded.

"Machamp use Ice Punch!" Ingo called out.

Another set of attacks launched at Giratina, before he fired off a beam at the Pokemon and trainers.

"Incineroar use Darkest Lariat! Dhelmise use Anchor Shot!" Ark called off.

"Dewgong use Ice Beam! Dragonite use Dragon Rage!" Seer Ash exclaimed.

"Milotic use Ice Beam! Sneasel use Ice Shard!" Coordinator Ash called out.

The series of ice type attacks began to slow down Giratina as Dhelmise was able to ground the legendary Pokemon, at least momentarily.

"Alright, now Incineroar use Malicious Moonsault!" Ark called out.

Incineroar slammed into Giratina, pushing the dragon back into the portal before it closed in a flash of red light, a burst of golden light appearing in it's place.

"Here they come, everyone get ready!" Trap Ash said, as a being of pure light appeared.

"YOU HAVE DONE WELL, GATHERING OUR KEYS OF POWER." The being proclaimed.

"Who are we speaking to? Arceus or MissigNO?" Pokemon Master Ash questioned.

"THE TWO NO LONGER EXIST IN NEWLY CREATED WORLDS, WHAT WAS TWO ARE NOW ONE!" The Being proclaimed.

"Wait, so you have the creating power of Arceus and the knowledge of MissigNO?" Seer Ash asked.

"YES, WE ARE AWARE THAT THE SYSTEM WAS FLAWED. THE NEED FOR A CHOSEN ONE GAVE BIRTH TO GREATER THREATS IN EACH WORLD. WE WILL NOT MAKE THAT MISTAKE IN OUR COMING WORLDS." The Being said.

"What about our worlds, do they still exist, and can you return us to them?" Ark asked.

"YES, WE WILL NOT DESTROY OR INTERFERE WITH THE WORLDS WHERE WE WERE SEPARATE ENTITIES, ONLY PROTECT THOSE WE WILL CREATE." The Being said. "AS FOR YOUR SEPARATE WORLDS, WITH HIS HELP WE CAN CREATE A PORTAL HOME."

"What about us, can you revert us?" Benji asked.

"IT IS A SIMPLE TASK THAN YOU WOULD THINK." The Being said as a blue beam fired at Benji and Ingo. "YOUR FORMS ARE RESTORED BUT YOUR MEMORIES REMAIN IN TACT."

"Wally!" Coordinator Ash cheered, hugging his friend.

"I remember everything, Unova, Emmet, the battle trains." Ingo said in shock.

"NOW LET US SEND THEM HOME." The Being said, working with Pokemon Master Ash said, opening a set of portals.

"That's Oreburgh!" Coordinator Ash said. "Come on Wally, guess we're going together again."

"Sounds like fun after all this time." Wally said as the two leapt through the portal.

"Goldenrod City, here we come." Seer Ash said, leaping through the portal with Dragonite, Dewgong, and his Pikachu following quickly behind him.

"Alright, I recognize that building back to Kanto for me." Ark said, rushing in with Pikachu and Incineroar.

"The Battle Subway, I have so much to tell my brother." Ingo said.

"TIME HAS UNFORTUNATELY PASSED IN YOUR WORLD, AS MUCH AS YOU HAVE LIVED, YOUR BROTHER HAS MISSED YOU." The Being apologized.

"A few months is nothing in comparison to what others could have been here." Ingo said, walking into his portal.

"And we can't go home." Tobias said.

"Our world was destroyed, even he can't bring it back, not how it was." Pokemon Master Ash said, looking at the last remaining portal. "Wait, Skirt. Before we go, can we head back to Jubilife, I need to do something."

"Not a problem." Trap Ash said, as the portal to his world closed. "I'm guessing time in my world is now moving forward though."

"YOU WILL LOSE SOME TIME BECAUSE OF YOUR CHOICES." The Being informed.

"That's fine." Trap Ash said.

Back in Jubilife Village

"Richard, Ashlynn, where are your friends?" Akari asked, seeing the two walk up.

"They went back home, and we're heading there soon, but I realized something." Pokemon Master Ash said, holding out Pikachu's Pokeball. "Pikachu still hasn't recovered, and I'm worried that he will get more hurt on the trip. Can you, watch him and help him recover until I get back?"

"Rich." Trap Ash said in shock.

"But you said, he was your last Pokemon." Akari said.

"He is, but he trusts you, just explain to him that I'll be back and I'm sorry I couldn't take him with me just yet." Pokemon Master Ash said.

"Of course, whatever you need." Akari said, holding Pikachu's Pokeball close. "It won't be the same without all of you here, the village won't be as safe."

"With Pikachu, you'll be fine." Pokemon Master Ash assured. "Take good care of him until I get back."

Back outside the village, near the docks they had first arrived at

"Alright, you promise I'll have a place?" Pokemon Master Ash said.

"Positive, there are lots of people who could use you, with or without Pokemon." Trap Ash said.

The two walked through the portal, but they weren't in another world.

"Is this your home?" Pokemon Master Ash asked, seeing the swirling colors.

"No, not quite, it's the home of all of us who have aura." Trap Ash said.

"This is the aura realm?" Pokemon Master Ash asked.

"The realm between worlds, but I've never been in this part, it's different than any other spot I've seen." Trap Ash said.

A small window opened in front of them

"So this is modern day Sinnoh?" Wally asked.

"We just call it Sinnoh, remember that." Coordinator Ash said. "But yeah this is the place, come on we'll call Brendan and let him know you're safe."

"Brendan?" Wally asked.

"Yeah, he was worried about you, a lot." Coordinator Ash said.

"Is that a portal back to their world?" Pokemon Master Ash asked.

"I don't think so." Trap Ash said, his hand holding flat against the window. "We can see it, but we can't interact with it."

"I wonder." Pokemon Master Ash said, another window opened up in front of them.

"Alright, you know after everything we've been through, how about we take a break before we take on the gym?" Ark asked, pausing outside the Pewter City gym. "Maybe train against some Pokemon here in Kanto, call Muk for support."

"It's windows into their worlds." Trap Ash said.

"A way to watch over our team, regardless of where they currently are." Pokemon Master Ash said. "When you said you had a job for me."

"This isn't what I had in mind." Trap Ash said.

"Maybe not, but I think this is where I should be." Pokemon Master Ash said. "You said you'd been checking in on the other Ashs previously, maybe now it's my turn to watch over them and any others that might need our help."

"Are you sure about this? I don't know if there's a way back from here." Trap Ash said.

"I lost my world and my chance to be a hero, but here I can watch over everyone and Pikachu, I can make sure our worlds stay safe, my Arceus did more than damage just these two worlds, I need to keep watch just in case, it's my duty." Pokemon Master Ash said, opening a portal in front of them. "Go home, I'll keep watch from now on."

"Alright Ash, take care of yourself, and if you ever need help, just ask." Trap Ash said, walking home into his own portal.
